So, I'm 6 weeks post op and this weekend all of a sudden, I can't get anything down without being in the bathroom immediately. Been on typical soft food diet - Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, egg beaters, tuna. This weekend had a protein shake and immediately had chills, dizziness, sweating, cramps and straight to the bathroom. Decided to step back and just have unsweetened tea and water. Both give me the same thing. Odd that the water of all things give me severe cramping and immediate need to go to the bathroom. I was at the tail end of a 10 day stall, so not sure if this is all playing a role? Have lost 6 pounds since Friday. Any thoughts?

Can't edit my original post, but think it is worth mentioning that I haven't had any issues during my first six weeks before this weekend.

In my mind, sudden changes in how you handle food and drink, especially if they are for the worse, mean call your surgeon for input and advice. It may be nothing, it may resolve itself within a few days, but it could signify a problem and he's the expert who can help you figure it out. Good luck!

I agree with Bufflehead. Call your surgeon ASAP.

It's possible you have a stomach virus maybe from something you ate. Tea will probably make worse so I wouldn't drink it. Go back to just taking small sips of water every so often, sf popsicles, broth and call your Dr.

Thanks all. Called doc and he suggested going back to clear liquids and try another protein shake once I can keep clears in. Had a couple sf Popsicles and water and those worked well, and got a protein shake down with minimal problems. Hoping mspatrice is right and it was a stomach virus of some sort.
